My short story "The House By the Dell" was featured in the 2021 Gothic fiction anthology, When Other People Saw Us, They Saw the Dead.
Marketing and Communications Work
Since leaving The Post, I have been exploring any and every form of communications-related work that interests me. It's been a lot of fun, and it's made me more well-rounded and thoughtful about my work.
- Copywriting: I have written web copy, newsletters, ad copy, event listings, and more.
- Web Design: I've built out several websites for myself, but I've begun doing it for others. A good friend recently co-authored a book, and I was able to design their official book site.
- Graphic Design: While working as Communications Manager for a nonprofit, I got a chance to make my own graphics. These are some of my favorites.
- Photos: Definitely one of my passions, and something I want to do more often.
